School name

edit

I'm seeking input on the proper way to include my "Confusion about the name of the school" section in the article. I've identified over a dozen biographical articles on Wikipedia that include the wrong school name (in all three permutations) and I will soon edit the Elizabeth D. A. Cohen article. I think this information will be helpful to others, but I'm not sure what the preferred way to include it is. Mherbison (talk) 18:25, 10 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Inclusion of Elizabeth D. A. Cohen

edit

I am seeing that Dr. Cohen has been added to this article, however there are many sources stating she attended Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania aka The Female Medical College of Pennsylvania. I understand there is confusion over the name of the school and since there was not many schools at the time admitting women for medical studies. However I believe we need to look closer at the sources to determine when and where she attended. Jooojay (talk) 22:36, 10 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

The current citation used in this article to support the statement that she attended this school and graduated in 1857 is not online and listed as "U.S., School Catalogs, 1765-1935. Penn Medical University of Philadelphia." - the citations stated she did not attend this school include "P.E. Hyman and D.D. Moore (eds.), Jewish Women in America, 1 (1997), 243–44; New Orleans Times-Picayune (Feb. 22, 1920); J. Duffy (ed.), The Rudolph Matas History of Medicine in Louisiana, 2 (1962); Encyclopedia Louisiana (1998)."
